How often and when will the City mow the grasses in the open spaces and trails next to my house?
The Citywide Landscape and Maintenance District, which is funded by a special tax voted on by Clayton residents, only provides for the abatement and disking of weeds in the City’s open spaces once a year. The Maintenance Department schedules the annual abatement after the rains have subsided to avoid further vegetation growth following the disking.
The Contra Costa County Fire Protection District services the City of Clayton when it comes to weed abatement. More information can be found on their page. The deadline this year is June 1, 2026. They also have a page dedicated to filing a weed abatement complaint if you would like to make a complaint.
